Before I could admit I was joking, she then closed her jaw. She straightened up and smirked, looking suddenly pleased with the response. "Where's Christian's room?" she suddenly asked, sounding as innocent as ever. This time my jaw dropped. My eyes even widened as her words echoed through my mind. Before I knew it I was scowling at her, feeling disgusted.
"Dee." My scowl grew. "That's... Sick." She laughed. "Saying your best friend looks slutty is sick." I couldn't stop my smile from appearing at that. Shaking my head, I forgot about what she said. Thankfully. "I was joking," I admitted, smiling. "You look great. Straight hair suits you." "Thank you." She grinned, flipping her hair away from her shoulders. "Think I can find myself someone hot?" I shook my head at that, wondering how I was friends with someone so boy crazed. "Maybe." Dee smirked. "Someone as hot as Christian?" I groaned and turned around, ignoring her words. At this point I knew she'd be obsessed with Christian forever, and there was nothing I could do but ignore her. So shrugging, I got ready.
"Autumn," Dee said, sounding amazing. "Wow." I found myself blushing as I wondered what I should do with my loosely curled hair. Leaving it out completely looked great, wow like Dee said. But, it wasn't a look I was accustomed to. Curling my hair was something I wasn't accustomed to either. This was all new to me, and I felt awkward. "Thanks," I replied awkwardly. "What should I do with my hair?" "Leave it out." She smiled from where she sat on my bed. "It looks great." "But-" I suddenly heard a knock on the door, causing me to frown. No one had been at home, yet now someone was knocking on my door. I wondered who it was.
Quickly, I opened the door and Christian stood before me. His mouth opened as if he was about to say something, but when his eyes met my face, no words came out of his mouth. Instead, he just stared at me with his blue eyes glistening with thoughtfulness.
My heart suddenly began to accelerate as he brought his eyes down my body slowly, analysing every part of me. In the maroon dress I wore that hugged my body, I suddenly felt insecure. In front of this young adult, I wondered if he was judging my child-like body that lacked any sort of curves. With Dee now standing in front of my bed, he had her - who had wonderful curves - to compare me to as well. My cheeked heated up.
But then, Christian slowly brought his eyes back up to my face. When his eyes locked with mine again, I became surprised when I noticed that his eyes lost their thoughtfulness. Instead they now looked gentle, affectionate almost as they just stayed staring at my own brown eyes. Not knowing what to do as my heart thumped, I just stared back at him.
In about a minute, Dee cleared her throat from behind us. That seemed to waken Christian up, because he quickly moved his eyes away from mine to look at Dee. Finding my heartbeat slowing down, I also looked at Dee who stood where she was watching us. With her head titled slightly, she almost seemed to be studying us.
"Do you think Autumn should leave her hair as it is?" Dee asked, looking at Christian as her eyes glistened with awe at the boy she found gorgeous. Christian quickly brought his eyes back to mine, and looked at my hair. With his eyes still looking gentle, he nodded as he suddenly walked past me and into my room. "Yeah, she should," he replied as I turned around.
For some reason I was lost for words as Christian leaned against my mirror table. He looked comfortable. Too comfortable in my room when my heart was still beating faster than I would like it to. Knowing it needed to calm down, I took a few deep breaths in and out. This was Christian, I tried to remind myself. Just some guy you lived with.
Once my heart calmed down, I looked back at Christian. He was still in the same spot as before, but now he seemed to be analysing my room. To my horror and surprise, I realized this was his first time in my room. I found myself scowling, also noticing that Dee had moved closer to Christian. Wanting him gone, I asked flatly, "What do you want?"
To my annoyance, he asked, "Where are you going?" I crossed my arms over my chest defiantly. "I asked you first." "I wanted to hang out." His face remained expressionless at that. "So, where are you going?" Adrenaline pumped through me - even with those words - as we stared at each other for a second.
